Miracles Do Happen

So, last night went pretty perfect if I do say so myself. Idiot magnet was not allowed to work because behind our seats was equipment and in front of us, almost the whole row was completely empty. Amazing. Dinner was spectacular and the concert was surprisingly really good! I knew I loved the song "Wicked Game" back in the day and still like it- but beyond that I had no idea what to expect from Chris Isaak. Looking around before the concert started I noticed there were people of every age and every "group" from all walks of life. He actually played all kinds- blues, country, rock, love songs, 50's type music. And he has such an incredible voice. It has this haunting quality and I would also venture to say that he can hit all but maybe 2 octaves on the scales! Plus, any man that can rock it out in a hot pink suit with silver sequins has my vote. In addition to the great music, he is one of the funniest people I've seen perform. He had a totally dry sense of humor- which I love- and mercilessly picked on one of his guitar players, a Jewish guy named Herschel. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was. Today I have been working like a mad woman to get the general house cleaning done so I can sit my fanny on the couch and watch SC hopefully get whipped up on by the Bulldogs tomorrow. Immediately following I hope to see Clemson take care of the Wolfpack. This will all occur after Annelise's soccer game in the morning. Oh, speaking of soccer- Emmaline scored her first goal last night while we were at the concert! I was so sad to have missed it. Sweet Thang gave me the scoop and said Emmaline actually stole the ball from some boy and then scored. Yeah- takes after her Mommy. She also said Emmaline just went right back to playing as if nothing had happened. I tell you, when that girl hits the field she is all business. Annelise had to go to bed early tonight because she was acting like a psychotic maniac, so let's hope she is back to her normal sweet self by the morning. Otherwise I may feel sorry for any other player that gets in her way during the game tomorrow..... B and I have pretty much decided what to do about the house. More on that later. For now, I have to get back to the Kansas/UCF game- I have 2 points placed on Kansas, and so far, I'm a happy gal!
